I spent a month in this nice, quaint apartment. It's just about 15 to 20 minute cab ride to a lot of the main tourist attractions in the city if the traffic isn't bad. The host is wonderful and can help you with anything you ask! It is a private apartment with stove top and cute decorations. The internet is blazing fast most of the time. I could download from Steam at about 20mbps. The apartment is stocked with snacks and drinks for your convenience at a good price and has a nice modern Thai-Western feel. There is a nice TV and two beds in there. The AC is amazing on those hot Thai days. The location is on an industrial street with some workshops and businesses which can be a little noisy at times but not overbearingly so. There is a vegetarian restaurant across the street as well as a GREAT mini restaurant on the corner. The owner's name is Judy and she is so sweet and their menu is a great taste of what Bangkok has to offer at decent prices. We would spend about $10 USD on a meal that (in my opinion) was better tasting than any "high-end" Thai restaurant I have been to. If you adventure around you can find some street carts with food ranging from about 20 to 40 baht. Near the local 7-11 is a cell phone store so you can get a sim and a Nokia-esque phone for about 30 USD. If you use google maps you can learn how to take the buses that can be about 9 to 15 baht and can take you down to the BTS in about 10 minutes with little traffic, so you can zip around the city. The buses can also take you the "The Mall" which is the name of the mall. You can see movies and buy just about anything at this modern shopping complex. Across the street from that is a mini market with cheap clothing to peruse. Overall I loved this place and would recommend it to any foreigners that don't mind a little distance from the attractions but want a more local Thai feel. 5 Stars :)
